In my mind
and nailed to my heels
All the time
killing what I feel
So about half way (2 weeks done, 2 weeks and 2 games to go) where are the Jays at? Are the questions getting answered?
A little something thread on a Friday afternoon...
(but really an excuse for me to write about Taijuan Walker)
The Blue Jays have been cooking up a dish this past week that Gordon Ramsay might well approve of. Olive oil in! A dash of Yates, in! Springer in!
What? No, you've been watching too many YouTube cooking videos...
So, Kim goes to SD, as does Snell and Darvish - glad the Jays aren't in that division. All other NL West teams should look at doing a dump and run. So now what?
Well, kind of quiet but the Jays did sign a few guys recently. No one to make you jump up and down, but enough of an excuse to start a new topic.
The Jays non-tendered two players today - AJ Cole and Travis Shaw.
Final 3 vs Baltimore before the playoffs. Ah, so sweet to think about playoff baseball even if it is a watered down one.
4 vs the Phillies this weekend, including 2 today. Time to buckle down for the stretch drive!
Like it or not, something wicked this way comes.
And this is definitely going to be something.
Well, the Jays and all of MLB have already released 2021's schedule (far ahead of usual) probably to try to hype things up a bit before wave 2 hits this fall. The Jays signed all 5 of their draft picks - 5 years in a row they have signed their picks in the first 5 rounds (last missed was 2015 Brady Singer who is with the Royals, signed for 2019 season out of the first round in 2018).
The Jays have released their 60 (58) man roster for Summer Training. 30 will make the big team, 30 will be playing with each other for the season. Hmm...gotta find a better way of saying that.
The two sides are getting closer and closer to a deal - I think we will get some baseball this year after all.
EDIT: We have a season! The league has issued an announcement stating that the owners unanimously agreed to launch the campaign after further negotiations with the players failed to result in a new deal.
Well, not a ton of stuff but what we do have is big. Owners and players fighting over compensation for players should MLB get going again. Also time for anew thread that is purely about what is going on now in baseball, even if it isn't much.
MLB is doing a 'dream bracket' battle - interesting to see rosters. I'm sure everyone here has opinions on it.
